stage #4: Orient Town RAGNA: You need something? TAGER: Are you Ragna the Bloodedge? RAGNA: ... No. You have the wrong person. TAGER: I am from Sector Seven. TAGER: Ragna the Bloodedge, I have orders to restrain you. I'd prefer it if you came quietly. If you don't resist, I won't have to hurt you. RAGNA: You didn't hear a word I said, did you? TAGER: You've got the Azure Grimoire with you. You must have known you'd show up on our EADAP. TAGER: I do hope you're not mistaking Sector Seven for that supbar Librarium. RAGNA: [sigh] So, what're you gonna do, Mr. Red Devil? TAGER: So you know of me, then? I suppose I can dispense with the formalities. I'd hoped I wouldn't have to force you, but you've given me no choice.
[RAGNA vs TAGER, RAGNA wins]
TAGER: Guh... I should've expected this... from the man who carries the Azure Grimoire. A fatal... miscalculation... RAGNA: Goddammit. That was like hitting a rock. The hell are you made of? Ugh, I'm not gonna waste any more time on you, asshole.
stage #8: Cathedral RAGNA: [enters the stage with CARNAGE SCISSORS, blocked by Jin] JIN: Come on, is that any way to greet someone? Hahaha, looks like you're as reckless as ever. JIN: You haven't changed at all, although I have to admit I'm a little relieved. RAGNA: What the hell are you doing here!? No, never mind that. I've got a whole other bunch of questions that you need to answer. RAGNA: Make it easy on yourself and just stand there while I cut you up! JIN: Whoa... you're asking for quite a bit. JIN: I have to say though... there's enough money on your head to buy a small country. A whole lot of people are looking for "Ragna the Bloodedge". RAGNA: That's got nothin' to do with you! JIN: Aaah, but don't worry. I won't let anyone else touch you... You're all mine. RAGNA: You son of a bitch! JIN: Ahaha! Yes, that's it... I'd almost forgotten this feeling... To think that we'd meet like this again... that I'd have the chance to "kill" you again. JIN: Hehehe... Enough nostalgia... Let's kill each other... Ragna!
[RAGNA vs JIN, RAGNA wins]
JIN: Hurgh... gah... RAGNA: I'm not gonna finish you off this time, asshole. I still got lotta questions, and I think you've got the answers. RAGNA: But, I got bigger fish to fry than you right now, so how 'bout we continue this chat later?
stage #9: the Gate HAKUMEN: At last, fiend. You finally show yourself. RAGNA: At last? The hell are you talking about? Who are you? HAKUMEN: I'm not talking to you. RAGNA: Then who the hell are you talking to? Yourself? RAGNA: Whatever. I don't have time for you or your shit. Now get outta my way or I'm gonna rip that stupid mask off and make you eat it. HAKUMEN: Then why don't you draw your sword? RAGNA: Shut up. HAKUMEN: Aaahh, yes, now that is fear, Ragna the Bloodedge. The creature that sleeps within you... it can sense my power, and it is afraid. RAGNA: What did you say!? HAKUMEN It is the center of darkness and the source of all evil. Your very existence is the world's worst nightmare. HAKUMEN: Only your death can put an end to this nightmare. It is time for the eternal wanderer to meet his demise. [draws his sword] RAGNA: Hah! So now I'm a nightmare? I'm gettin' tired of listening to your nonsense. Why don't you drop the hero crap, so we can get this over with? HAKUMEN: I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I rip the sins of this world, and cleanse it in fires of destruction. HAKUMEN: I am Hakumen. The end has come!
[RAGNA vs HAKUMEN, no result]
HAKUMEN: Gah! How dare you interrupt me, Grimalkin! [disappears] RAGNA: I thought he was just some freak that wouldn't shut up... but he was pretty tough... Damn it... what the hell is he...?
[the Cauldron opens]
stage #10: the Gate RAGNA: Tch. You gotta be kidding me... I guess I was too late. ν-No.13-: [lands before him] Loading... loading... loading... loading... Complete. Ahh! It's Ragna! I haven't seen you in sooooo long! What is this... the fourth time? RAGNA: Third. ν-No.13-: Awwww... looks like somebody's in a bad mood. ν-No.13-: Are you mad 'cause we couldn't talk the last few times? I've got a body that can talk now, see? ν-No.13-: You... you remember how you hurt me before? It really hurt a lot. I bled a whole bunch. Really! But, you know... RAGNA: Shut up. ν-No.13-: Ah! Ragna, you're injured! Why don't you heal yourself? Are you OK? Who did that to you? RAGNA: Shut up! That face! That voice! Don't you dare talk to me! ... I'm here to destroy you. Understand? ν-No.13-: Whaa! Ragna! Don't do that! That's so mean! ν-No.13-: I finally... I finally have a body. We can finally be together, but you... you... You're so mean... RAGNA: It's too late for me to ask for your forgiveness. ν-No.13-: [enters battle mode] ... Don't wanna talk, hmm? Perhaps you'll open up after something a bit more... physical?
[RAGNA vs ν-No.13-, RAGNA loses]
RAGNA: Dammit! Why...!? ν-No.13-: It's impossible, you know. No one can change what happened. This is destiny! You and I are supposed to be together. ν-No.13-: It's a story that cannot be rewritten. RAGNA: The hell are you talking about!? RAGNA: I don't need anyone telling me what to do! RAGNA: [gets hit by Nu's Sword Summoner] Guhah! ν-No.13-: ... And we fall into each other's arms... ν-No.13-: Oh, this is so romantic. RAGNA: Let go of me... you bastard...! [both Ragna and Nu are impaled on a giant sword] RAGNA: Guagh! ν-No.13-: Your life and my life are the same. ν-No.13-: If I'm still alive, you definitely won't die. ν-No.13-: The same goes for me too. ν-No.13-: You can't fight your feelings, Ragna. ν-No.13-: We're going to be together... forever and always. RAGNA: Stop... it... I'm... not... ν-No.13-: Alright, let's go destroy everything now. ν-No.13-: Destroy this whole terrible, awful excuse for a world. ν-No.13-: OK? Ragna?
I love this game, I really do, but if you expect me to write down 30+ hours of a visual novel, you're underestimating my laziness. Especially when someone has already done that for me, bless their soul.
